    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    The last 3 times we stayed at Poly, we couldn't get a reservation at Ohana (yes did try at 180 days prior) and the wait for Trader Sam's was unreasonable. I'm not standing there for 2 hours.... Maybe hotel guests should be able to go to the top of the list or get somekind of reservation priority.

    Do you "rent" points to family and if so, for how much $?

    I had a family member who tried to book a room and it was going to cost them like $6k for the week. I offered to book it for them with my points. Think about how relieved they felt when the cost of the trip was reduced by 75%. I don't think they were insulted that I saved them money.

    What resort for short visit/big group?

    There is so much going on and I'm exhausted just reading that.... Some things that stood out to me are; -Go to a different resort than u have been to before (this way u can keep the memories seperate) -Forget park hopping, it gets too crazy. I'd suggest for the family to concentrate...

    Genie add on

    we are not park commandos. We make it in at a reasonable time like 9 or 10 depending on busses. Many of the better attractions were not available no matter how often u refreshed. Kids have to eat so u have to allow a reasonable time for reservations or a quick service stop. once fireworks start...

    Genie add on

    Something I never heard, that I have learned the hard way..... Is that you can buy Genie, open up the ride options and none of the rides you want to do are available. You can have ALL of the lame rides you want but NONE of the better ones. If they are avail, they are 2-3 hours later. For us, it...

    Given What You Know Now

    Given what I know now, I should have bought Boardwalk ($61 a point), Beach Club ($65 a point), or OKW ($55 a point) instead of VGF for $149 a point

    Where would you buy?

    I know my wife loves shopping in the hallways of VGF. She also gets her hair done at the spa. Tons of restaurant options at VGF. Monorail to TTC to epcot/hs isn't that bad. Hard to tell what you and your sister should buy without knowing you.

    Stalking excitement

    I have stalked 3 times a day for the past 4 months.... I have only seen 1 room option open up (I don't click SSR or AKV). To jump around that many times you certainly have amazing luck.

    Why is everyone so concerned with the new Poly tower

    I have no idea which way this will go. I was completely wrong about VGF2, but if Disney applies what they learn from past performance then they will want to keep it the same.... so that all the PVB1 owners buy direct to add on to PVB2. If they keep the tower 1,2&3br's (and accelerate the...

    Disgruntled members: What are the DVC-specific issues?

    There are a few things that bother me. The biggest has to be Magical Express. Current climate is "going green" now, everyone has to rent a car or take an Uber instead of being on the express. Next up would be the annual passes. I got a lot of kids and they bring friends. Not having my crew...

    People interested in Poly2: are you hoping for new association or same?

    It seems very simple to me. The new pool will be equal to or better than the volcano pool. That will balance out the issue. Everyone knows Beachclub is popular because of SAB. Build it and they will come. A top knotch pool makes all of these issues moot. Go to volcano pool or the new & improved...

    People interested in Poly2: are you hoping for new association or same?

    If there is an infinity pool, I would think 99% of the people would go to that pool. Kids have to go where mommy says, and mommy wants the infinity

    The VGF 2 pricing thread

    For those of you who are not willing to pay more than $250 a point...... please move out of the way and stand on the side while the people with real money make their purchases. Don't worry, the rest will be able to bid on availability at the 7month mark.

    Grand Floridian Add-On

    I must be on Mars. Many on here expect VGF2 to be priced at $207 AND they want incentives on top of that ?!?!? I don't know if this is a secret or not, but Disney is into making money and this conversion is being done for that very reason. I know they are going to need to sell 2m points but...
